here's a fun fact for you:

most of agatha christie's murder mysteries exist in a shared universe. Inspector Battle, Colonel Race, Hercule Poirot, and Tommy and Tuppence share a universe (i'm 99% sure about tommy and tuppence, but I may be wrong, they may exist in their own universe. the others are indisputable though)

Miss Marple does not, becuase Miss Marple is a fictional character in the HPSU (hercule poirot shared universe)

In 'cards on the table', ariadne oliver, agatha christie's self-depricating self-insert detective novelist character, is confirmed to have written the book 'the body in the library', which in reality was a miss marple mystery written by agatha christie.

that's mildly interesting, but here's where it gets really fun:

agatha christie exists in the Miss Marple universe.

in the irl cards on the table, a character mentions having autographs from several famous detective novelist, and specifically names dorothy l sayers and agatha christie.

which means that agatha christie is the fictional self-insert of her fictional self-insert.

and also begs the question: did the agatha christie who exists in Miss Marple's unverse write a novel called cards on the table in which she introduced an author self insert called ariadne oliver?

is this a case of infinite agatha christie recursion?

Children of Dune where everything is the same except instead of the Baron, Alia is haunted by her father, who gives her nothing but love, support and encouragement.

#dune #alia atreides #leto atreides #st alia of the knife #frank herbert #dune spoilers #children of dune #cards on the table #i hated her entire arc in book #i would've been fine if it had just been her becoming more tyrannical while slowly losing her mind because of being preborn #but having her literally possessed by the baron was just nonsense #and the whole romance with the duncan clone was just iffy #so lets get rid of all that and just let alia hang out with her dad

For @wesslan for the amazing fic Cards on the Table. The initial sketch had better proportions cause digital is hard for me, but I l9ve how the colors and cards turned out. I have a few other sketches but we will see if I post those cause ehhhhhhh this was the easy sketch to digitize, and it took a few hours don't wanna do the harder sketch to be honest. Regardless hope you enjoy!

Summary:

Tim's parents faked their deaths and fled the country years ago, but neglected to take him with them. He spent some time on the streets, and now at 16, he makes a living as a fortune teller, stalking and hustling the shit out of Gotham's elite by telling them eerily accurate fortunes based on the information he gathers about them.

His life is peculiar but he wouldn't change a thing. When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.

or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist. But it seems they just won't leave him alone..

absolutely no offense to alexander siddig, but as soon as he showed up in this episode of poirot it was impossible for me to see this as anything but a holodeck episode

bashir would 100% be into poirot, this is definitely a thing he's done with garak before

"Er, gentlemen," said Mr. Bucket. "Ahem. All right. Cards on the table, eh? I'm a simple man, me. No beating about the bush, speak as you find, call a spade a spade--"

"Do give us your forthright views," said Salzella. Definitely that kind of owner, he thought. Self-made man proud of his handiwork. Confuses bluffness and honesty with merely being rude. I wouldn't mind betting a dollar that he thinks he can tell a man's character by testing the firmness of his handshake and looking deeply into his eyes.

Hate to break it to you but potentially 'cards on the table' should've been called 'the wooing offensive'

I still rather like it as a title because I expected the cards on the table to be like, a run of spades, but instead Holden showed his cards and apparently it's hearts fucking everywhere.

But teach Holden a form of poker called 'the wooing offensive' and he is ALL IN. (James disapproves of gambling. If any of you are surprised by this fact I have failed as an author.)

But I give. I'll admit it: what it really should have been called is Cards on the Table.

I am so behind the times. I just found out The Adventure Zone is doing a Dracula campaign and I am ashamed I didn't already know. I should set up an alert for any new Dracula news
